The big plus of the Gargallo is its location, right in the middle of Ortigia and walking distance to everything you want to visit. Finding the hotel by car is a challenge -- we had a printout of their map from the website, and still had to park the car and walk around to find it. Fair enough. Ortigia is... More

Everything was perfect, the staff were amazing and even helped us with the parking as this can be a problem but they have a spot that is roped off, it's more like a small hotel, free wifi, clean and well appointed rooms for a reasonable rate. Location was great too

A B&B in a good location in the old town. Finding it by car was tricky and when we got there, they had one parking space which we were fortunately able to take. The room we had, 205, was smaller compared to the others that we glanced at when they were cleaning, but sufficed. It was clean, but the shower... More

We just spent four nights in the Hotel Gargallo on the island of Ortygia (Siracusa, Italy's old city). On a tiny side street with barely enough room for one car, there was absolutely no traffic noise. Simona greeted us when we arrived with an efficient check-in and even helped us upstairs with our luggage. We could walk all over the... More

Ortygia is the old heart of Syracusa. In total contrast to mainland Syracusa - to which it is linked by bridges - almost every street is made up of historic buildings. From palazzos and churches to small houses - in various states of repair- they are rich in carved stone detailing and give a very strong feeling of being in... More

Reasonably priced, in the middle of Ortygia part of Siracusa, this small hotel has very nice rooms (in a 3*** to actually have a place in the bathroom to put your stuff - wow) with helpful staff. Only issue, is if you are driving, you have to park your car a ways away, and about 7 euros for 24 hrs.... More

This charming little hotel has an amazing location right on one of the small side streets in Ortigia. Certainly not fancy but quite acceptable accomodations with private bath and breakfast and the price was truly a bargain. In addition to being an easy walk to all of Ortigia, it is less than 5 minutes to the puppet theater which was... More

IN the very center of Ortygia (Syracuse's island and historic center), the hotel is close from any point of interest. It is a small hotel (just a few rooms/floor) with lovely decoration (mosaic at the reception, old pictures of the city, warm colors) in a very old building. The staff is really helpful and they all have a great smile... More
